Description This is the route at the far end of the cave, immediately behind the flake. There are a lot of good rests and this is quite mild for the area.
Protection A standard rack up to #3 Camalot will do.
Scott Drum on the lead.

| A nice route with cool location. There is a fair amount of bird poo on the upper two thirds of the route. However, this does not make it a crappy route.... |

| Well poot, Jared. The webbing on the new anchors is now covered with bird shit. A proactive person may wish to change the acid soaked webbing with chains at some point. |

| This one topped out. Much harder climbing higher up. Old school 5.10. |

| Are there supposed to be anchors at the top for this climb? Or do you just traverse right on bird-shit ledge to the anchors for the Cave Route (10a)?
I traversed right and it kind of sucked, especially for my girlfriend who was looking at a nice swing along the poopy ledge if she slipped. Great way to learn to chimney! |

| I just went to the achor for the Cave Route, and I would say it was a cruise, but that traverse to the anchor was a little spicy, not hard, but a slip up on that dirty rock would have hurt more than a little bit.
I think it would make a great first lead. |

| If you continue up the steep crack where it narrows to where you can chimney, there is a ledge with two sets of anchors, one in front of you (old angles) and the one behind you is a new anchor.
